Description

In these engaging and informative interviews conducted with Charles Bud Tingwell shortly before his death in 2009 Bud tells of his experiences as a RAAF pilot in World War 2. He also reminiscences about his career as a celebrated Australian actor which culminated in his iconic role as Lawrence Hammill in The Castle and brought him to a new audience. The recordings were part of the research for Kim Lockwood's book Charles Bud Tingwell's War Stories and use the original material recorded on dictaphone. Although the recordings vary in quality they provide a highly engaging, frank and valuable account of his life. We believe these insights into Bud's life will be of great interest to his many fans and also acknowledge his significant contribution to Australian life.show more
